What is up with Asus there new P4S533 mobo. I wonder why they didn't put usb 2.0. I mean there others mobo has usb 2.0. I think we should all email, and tell them to include 2.0 on there new motherboard!!
 
Unfortunately, I think manufacturers still view the SiS chipsets as 'budget' mobos and often put on less features than the VIA/Intel chipsets. Ever seen RAID on a SiS mob? I think the Epox has it and that's the only one. Just look at the SiS735/745 chipset boards...they are all bare-bones systems, only just now does the MSI 745 board have decent options. Maybe with more people now buying SiS boards, the manufacturers will put more extras on them? :D
 
wow they replied back

Heres what they wrote

"Sorry, this because the south bridge of p4s533 cannot support this function."

also does this mean, that a 2.0 pci won't work with this board if i buy it?
 
You can use USB 2.0 if you install PCI USB2.0 card.
A PCI USB 2.0 card has a own chipset (NEC) to control USB2.0 port.
